Self-storage proposed for Point Lonsdale

THE City of Greater Geelong has received a planning application for a self-storage facility in Point Lonsdale.

The applicant has proposed the facility, which will cost about $80,000 to construct, be located at 1641-1649 Queenscliffe Road.

Planit Consulting states in its report that “the site consists of a relatively small parcel of rural land comprising approximately 1.5 hectares in area.

“For this reason, it is submitted the proposal is unlikely to have any significant impact on the surrounding rural environment on the Bellarine Peninsula.”

The application states that the containers will only be 2.59 metres high and security measures will include a key code entrance gate.

“Each container will be pad locked with key supplied to the person renting the container.

“A camera and light pole will be located at the entrance gate for additional security measures.

“The latest the storage area will be open is 7pm.” Public comment closes tomorrow (Friday, April 5).
